MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / January 2008Get Word Window Handle?
I have some useful code (incl declarations into user32) for checking keyboard events but it needs Word's Window Handle (Word 2002) - Excel 2002 has Application.hWnd but there's nothing like that for Word alas. Anyone know how to do this in VBA? (example would be apreciated) Thanks Julian  SignatureJulian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com Hi Julian At the top of the module, add the following: Private Declare Function FindWindowByClass Lib "user32" _ Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As Long) As Long When you want the handle, use Dim lngHWnd as long lngHWnd = FindWindowByClass("opusapp", 0&) FWIW, "Opus" was the code name for the first version of Word for Windows. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

I'd found something similar elsewhere but was missing the lpClassName, which, as you demonstrated, was somewhat arbitrary (not like "XLMAIN") Haven't tried it yet but it looks like it will do the trick perfectly - then I will be able to do the auto-saving I want *only* when Word is idle... VMT!

What I want to do is to trap keyboard events so that I can note the time of the last keypress... any suggestions?

It sounds like you are trying to write a keylogger. Many such have already been written, many of them open-source. Just do a web search for "keylogger".
